ALEX FERGUSSON TO RETIRE AS MANCHESTER UNITED COACH AT THE END OF THE SEASON

It has just been confirmed that Sir Alex Ferguson will step down as Manchester United manager at the end of the season after 26 years in charge. "The Scot, 71, has won 38 trophies since taking over from Ron Atkinson on 6 November 1986, including this season's Premier League title. His haul includes 13 titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups. "The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about. It is the right time," Ferguson said. "It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so. "The quality of this league winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure of the youth set-up will ensure that the long-term future of the club remains a bright one. Ferguson, who will take on the dual role of director and ambassador for United, praised the people he felt helped him build the club into one of the biggest in the world. "I must pay tribute to my family, their love and support has been essential," he added."My wife Cathy has been the key figure throughout my career, providing a bedrock of both stability and encouragement. Words are not enough to express what this has meant to me. "As for my players and staff, past and present, I would like to thank them all for a staggering level of professional conduct and dedication that has helped to deliver so many memorable triumphs. Without their contribution the history of this great club would not be as rich." Already Bookmakers have made Everton manager David Moyes odds-on favourite to take over at Old Trafford. The Scot is out of contract in the summer at Goodison Park having delayed talks on a new deal until the end of the season. WHO IS TAKING OVER ?

Joshua Akindele, 56, a confessed cannibal was recently caught by a vigilante group in collaboration with members of the palace guard to the community leader of Ajara Topa community in Badagry, Lagos. Akindele reportedly operates from a hole he dug under the Gbaji bridge along the Badagry-Seme border. Sources say the accused was spotted by a man identified as Anthony Amos who watched him crawl into the hole under the Gbaji bridge. Akindele confessed to behind several unexplained deaths in the area saying he operates by hitting his victims dead or unconscious with plywood and dragging them into the hole before splitting their parts for food and selling parts to ritual buyers. He confessed to have been previously jailed for 5 years after molesting a 17-year old girl. According to him: “I have been in this business for the past 15 years after my friend advised me to stop riding okada and to join him in ritual killing and cannibalism. “Whenever I see somebody walking alone without being conscious of who is watching, I walk slowing up to them and hit them with a big plywood on their heads after which they fall unconscious, I then drag them into the hole and use a knife to cut them into parts which I sell to some churches and some ready buyers who indulge in ritual killing for easy money, and some times when I feel hungry late in the night, I eat some parts for food.” he said. He gave details of his body part selling business revealing that he sells human heads for N7,500; bosom for N1,500; joystick for N1,000; hands and legs sell for N3,500. The Baale of Ajara Topa community, Samuel Amosu Owolabi, said he visited the scene of the crime and met the suspect being beaten by a mob. Owolabi said he pleaded with the mob to let the confessed cannibal live so that he can be prosecuted according to the law. It was confirmed that the suspect is now in the custody of the Badagry police division for proper investigation into the case.

SSS PARADES SUSPECT HIRED BY GOVERNOR AKPABIO TO KILL SENATOR ETOK

The State Security Service (SSS) today paraded a suspect, ex-militant Adelola Tamunotonye Olaore, alias "General Africa" over a plot to assassinate and extort money from Senator Aloysius Etok in Abuja. Senator Etok is the man that Governor Goodswill Akpabio openly admitted having rigged into office, although the Senator has said his election was transparent. But Senator Etok also occupies the Ikot Ekpene Senatorial Seat, the same seat that the governor covets in 2015 when he cannot run for a third term, giving the impression it is merely being held in trust for him. The suspect, who was born in Port Harcourt, hails from Okeho in Kajola Local Government of Oyo State. He confessed to having been contracted by three of Governor Akpabio’s loyalists to assassinate Senator Etok. In order to convince the Senator [he was not lying] he offered to furnish him with details of the Governor’s purported Bank Account and Energy Company in South Africa. Adelola said that he wanted to broker peace between Governor Akpabio and Senator Etok, having followed the political wrangling between the duo over the Ikot Ekpene Senatorial Seat. He confessed to having used the political rift to extort money but he was apprehended by the security operatives. That development following a directive from the SSS to the Senator who had written a letter to the service titled “REPORT OF THE PLANNED ASSASINATION BY A MAN WHO CALLS HIMSELF GENERAL AFRICA (AN-EX MILLITANT)” The Senator was asked to play along with the suspect, leading to his arrest on April 29. Governor Akpabio, a personal friend of President Goodluck Jonathan, has made it plain he will represent the Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District in the Senate in 2015, an ambition that has the entire Peoples Democratic Party machinery in the state behind him, including a faction of the legislature which recently adopted a resolution warning Senator Etok they will only support Akpabio’s Senatorial candidature in the forthcoming election. Speaking recently in an interview about the political manipulations in Akwa Ibom State, the Senator said, “That is what happened during my second term struggle that as soon as they knew I was going to contest, my wife was kidnapped. After the release of my wife, my mother in law was kidnapped. “When she was released, she died because of the torture she received in the hands of the kidnappers. As a result of that my father in law died out the heart break. Therefore, I also want Nigerians to ask Governor Akpabio what I have done to him. I have not done anything to him. I want all of you, like I am going to send a petition to the President, to ask Governor Akpabio to let me be. That his hit squad which he has resurrected should let me live. If anything happens to me, I want the world to know that Governor Akpabio is after my life.”

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.
